The Library pays for the hosting service, which enables us to support Brock journals with the following services:

a dedicated Brock OJS installation housed on the OCUL Community Cloud in Toronto

Unlimited disk storage for journal content and support files

Unlimited journals per institution

Regular upgrades to the operating system and the OJS software

Daily backups with secure offsite tape storage

Indexing and archiving in Scholars Portal Journals (requires separate local load and archiving agreement with each journal publisher). This exposes the content to a large audience for search and discovery and provides for its long-term preservation. An archiving agreement between OCUL and the journal publisher is required for this service. In order to participate, journals must have acquired ISSNs and use some form of documented peer review for publication

Support to Brock’s designated site coordinator during normal business hours
